And who better could have been here to share their thoughts with us but two stalwarts of Indian architecture- Ar. Brinda Somaya from Mumbai and Pune based Ar. Christopher Benninger. The IIA chapter of Pune was as enthusiastic in supporting this event as we were as a magazine to act as a binding force between the professionals and the technological innovation in large format print industry brought by HP.
